Paramount Home Solutions repairs leaking and wind-damaged shingle roofs in Wilmington. We fix leaks where your roof meets the house next door, lifted or missing shingles, flashing at chimneys and cracked pipe boots. We find where the water gets in and put the price in writing before any work starts. We drive down from our office in Schwenksville – a roughly 80-minute drive (about 52 miles) – and we're open every day from 8 AM to 8 PM.

We repair pitched asphalt-shingle roofs, and this is what that work covers.
Metal flashing keeps water out where your roof meets your neighbor's house, a wall or a chimney. We reseal or replace the step flashing and the counterflashing lapped over it. Call when a stain runs along that wall or shows up under the chimney.
Before we price anything, we trace where the water actually gets in. It could be flashing, a pipe boot, a valley (the V where two slopes meet) or a lifted shingle. A stain rarely sits right under the hole. Call when you see one spreading or hear a drip.
A summer thunderstorm or a cold-season coastal storm can lift, crease or tear off shingles. We replace the damaged ones and reseal the courses above so the row holds again. Call after any windy storm that leaves pieces in the yard.
A pipe boot is the rubber collar around a plumbing vent. Sun and age crack it, and water runs down the pipe into the room below. We replace the boot and check the flashing around the vent. Call if a bathroom ceiling starts to stain.
Hail hits New Castle County in about half of recent years, and a bruised shingle can look fine from the street. After hail, we photograph every slope and mark the test squares an adjuster counts. The claim stays yours.
Wilmington doesn't get much snow. On more than half of winter days, though, it freezes at night and thaws by afternoon. Call us if a stain appears after a cold stretch or you find frost or damp insulation in the attic. We check the eaves and correct the ventilation behind it.
About three in four Wilmington homeowners live in a rowhome, twin or townhouse. Your roof stops at your neighbor's wall or runs straight into the next roof. In our experience, that joint is where water gets in most often, along with the chimney that often sits on it. The houses are old, too. About half of the homes owners live in here were built before 1940, and six in ten before 1950. By that age, a roof has usually been re-covered at least once, and the flashing along the party wall is rarely new.
Wind matters more here than snow. Severe thunderstorm winds hit somewhere in New Castle County on about six days a year, mostly in June, July and August. Coastal storms in the colder months bring gusts near 60 mph. An older shingle that has lost its seal can lift and crease without coming off, and wind-driven rain pushes water sideways under flashing. You can't see either problem from the street.
On your visit, we check the party-wall joint and the chimney first, and we take pictures of each roof face before we suggest anything. If water showed up after a windy storm, book the free inspection before the next one blows through.
This is how a repair goes, from the first call to the last shingle.
We're open every day, 8 AM–8 PM. Tell us where the water shows and when it started.
We start at the party-wall joint and the chimney. Then we photograph each slope, note the flashing, shingles and ventilation, and check the attic and decking. It usually takes under an hour.
You get an itemized price with no obligation. It changes only if hidden damage such as rotted decking turns up, and we tell you first.
Our own crews replace the damaged flashing, shingles or pipe boots. Before patching, we confirm your shingle line is still made, so the new pieces match.

“My roof had significant storm/wind damage that resulted in damage inside my home. … He walked me through the complete process, answering ALL my questions, and believe me I had several.”
“Their team was very educated, honest and direct with me regarding the materials that were needed to efficiently fix my roof.”
“I had what I thought was a leak in my roof. It turned out to be a hole in my old siding that they fixed free of charge when they came out to check if it was a leak in the roof.”
“A friend had a major roof/leak issue after a major snowstorm and needed a roofing company ASAP. … Top tier customer service.”
On an attached house, the stain often shows up on the wall you share with your neighbor or under the chimney. It's usually not where the hole is. Water runs along the decking and the brick first and then finds a way down. That's why we trace it instead of patching the spot you can see.
| What you notice | What's usually wrong | What we do on the visit |
|---|---|---|
| A stain on the wall you share with the house next door | Worn or loose flashing at the party-wall joint | Find the gap, then reseal or replace the step flashing and counterflashing |
| A stain on the ceiling near the chimney | Chimney flashing that has let go | Reseal or replace the chimney flashing – the metal, not the brickwork |
| Shingles on the sidewalk or in the back yard after wind | Lifted or missing shingles | Replace the shingles and reseal the courses above |
| Water that comes in only during wind-driven rain | A lifted shingle edge or a gap in the flashing | Check every slope, not just the one over the stain |
| A drip around a bathroom or kitchen vent | A cracked pipe boot | Fit a new pipe boot and look at the flashing around it |
| Granules piling up in the gutters after hail | Bruised shingles | Photograph the roof and mark the same test squares an adjuster uses |
| Damp insulation or frost in the attic in winter | Attic ventilation out of balance | Check the soffit and ridge vents and correct the airflow |
If the damage shows on several slopes or the roof is past 20 years old, keep reading before you pay for a patch.
A small repair, such as a few shingles or a cracked pipe boot, usually runs $150–$800. A larger section can run from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. The price depends on the type and size of the damage, the materials and the labor. Emergency or structural repairs cost more.
On a rowhome, we price the joint with the house next door after we've seen it. We can only tell how much flashing has failed, and what's under it, up close. The inspection itself costs you nothing.
| Repair | Usually runs | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Free roof inspection | Free, no obligation | – |
| Small repair (a few shingles, a pipe boot) | $150–$800 | How much is damaged, roof pitch and access |
| Larger section or flashing repair | A few hundred dollars to several thousand | Size of the area and what's under it |
| Hidden damage (rotted decking) | Priced only after we show you | Found when shingles come off |
Financing is available for urgent repairs, with approval the same day in most cases. Conditions apply. Whatever the job, the exact number goes in an itemized estimate, in writing, before we start.
Our rule of thumb is simple. Isolated damage on a roof under about 15 years old is usually worth repairing. Widespread granule loss, curling on several slopes or a roof past 20 years points toward pricing a replacement. If the honest answer is to wait, we'll tell you.
On a house this old, the roof may already have been re-covered, so we check how many layers are up there before we suggest anything. Before any patch, we look up whether your shingle is still manufactured. A repair is only worth it if it matches.
When a replacement does make sense, we install complete GAF roofing systems: underlayment, starter strip, shingles, ridge cap and ventilation. If a repair is the right call but money is tight this month, financing is available.
Call (267) 351-2882. We're open every day, 8 AM to 8 PM. Summer thunderstorms and cold-season coastal storms bring the wind here, and the leaks often come with it.
Water coming through the ceiling. Move furniture and rugs aside and catch the drip in a bucket. If the ceiling sags, keep everyone out from under it.
Water near lights, outlets or wiring. Don't touch anything wet. Switch that circuit off at the breaker only if you can reach it without standing in water. If you can't, keep clear and call an electrician. Don't reset a tripped breaker. If you see sparks or smoke, get out and call 911.
Stay off the roof. Keep at least 100 feet from downed lines and call Delmarva Power or 911. Photograph the damage from the ground and inside. We'll do the climbing.
Call Now – (267) 351-2882We drive to all of Wilmington, from north of the Brandywine to Center City and the East Side. That includes west-side neighborhoods like Trolley Square and the Highlands. We also work in Newark and New Castle in northern Delaware. We set out from our office in Schwenksville, a roughly 80-minute drive (about 52 miles). Give us your street when you call, and we'll find a time that works.
These are short answers to the questions people ask before a repair.
A small repair usually runs $150–$800. A larger section can run from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. On a rowhome, the leak is often at the flashing beside your neighbor's wall rather than in the shingles, and that changes the job. The inspection is free, and you'll have the exact price on paper before we touch a single shingle.
Yes, on the pitched shingle part of your roof. We find the cause first. Then we reseal or replace the step flashing and counterflashing at that joint, with photos before and after. If the water turns out to come from a flat rear roof, we'll tell you plainly that it's not something we repair.
Start with the registration. Ours is Delaware contractor registration DE-2025-000011982, and you can find it by searching our company name in the state's registry. Ask us for proof of insurance covering general liability and workers' compensation. Then get a written, itemized estimate. The inspection is free and carries no obligation, so there's no pressure to sign anything on the day.
You should see what they see. We give you photos of each slope and an itemized price in writing before work starts. That price moves only if hidden damage turns up, and we tell you first. If a repair can wait, we'll say so instead of selling you one now.
Our own crews are covered by workers' compensation, and we carry general liability insurance. Ask us for proof of both before work starts, and we'll show you. That way you know who's on your roof and how they're covered before anyone sets up a ladder.
Call (267) 351-2882 or send the form. We'll photograph the whole roof and walk you through what we found. You'll have the price in writing before a single shingle comes off. Then you decide.
